Different types of roofing shingles

The quality of your roofing materials has a  direct impact on the value and safety оf your home.  Therefore, it is imperative to choose the best materials when planning a renovation project or constructing a new home. Luckily, there are different types of roofing shingles so finding the right ones wіll not really be a problem. Here is a brief overview of some of the best options on the market today.

Asphalt

Relatively more affordable than metal and slate shingles, asphalt is often an ideal choice for people who are on a tight budget.  However, there are a number of different types of asphalt shingles in the market.  The most popular ones are the three-tab shingles; they are thinner and less expensive than the laminated and architectural asphalt shingles.  Unlike slate shingles, though, they have a relatively short life span, 20-30 years.  To promote environmental wellness, you should go for coated asphalt shingles that meet Energy Star Standards.

Slate

Slate is often tested before being used in the manufacturing process to ensure it meets the set quality standards.  One of the benefits of this material is that it can last up to 5 decades if properly taken care of.  Most old farmhouses have slate roofs.  If you are on a tight budget, you can opt for a synthetic slate alternative.  It looks just like real slate but has a lower price point and lifespan.

Metal

Metal is avaialble in two forms:  solid metal and constructed shingles.  The low end galvanized metal coverings are the most durable, lasting up to 50 years depending on how well they are maintained.

Wood

More expensive than the asphalt roofing material, wood is an ideal choice for peopel who want to use materials that will give their home a specific appearance.  The best materials are hardwood such as redwood and cedar, which can last for up to 30 years.  This is because they are fortified to withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions such as heavy rain and storms.

Tile

Of all the materials previously discussed, tile is the most expensive to purchase and install.  Nevertheless, one of the main benefits is that they can last for up to a century as they are made from durable materials.  The structural support of your home needs to be able to withstand the weight of the materials.  It is highly recommended that you hire an expert to evaluate your home’s foundation before you go this route.

No matter which roofing materials you decide to use, ensure that you purchase them from a reputable location.  More importantly, hire an accredited roofer to install them in order to avoid certain problems such as water damage during the rainy season.

Roof Installation Service

Sterling Roofing is a top provider of roof installation in Wyoming and Montana. Our team of experienced and knowledgeable professionals is ready to help you determine if your roof needs replacement and what materials work best for you. We understand that installing a roof can be both expensive and daunting, but our expertise ensures your new roof will last for years. It’s our goal to install new roofs promptly so you can get back to living in a safe and secure home.

Roof And Gutter Repair Service

Sometimes, complete replacements aren’t necessary. Our team of experts also provides needed services, like roof and gutter repair. For example, asphalt shingles can become prone to buckling after years of use. As a result, you will need to replace them. The same is true for shingles damaged by hail or high winds. If your roof has experienced damage, we can replace the affected areas and prevent further damage from occurring. It’s also essential to have a functional gutter system that prevents water from seeping into your basement or foundation. Contact our team immediately to schedule a consultation if you notice any water damage.
